Videos for this week

I won't be available this week so we will not meet as a class.  Instead, I've put together videos on health insurance (chapters 15 & 16).  You can review the presentations all at once or just watch a video at a time based on the time you have available (I give an estimate of time for each video below).

If you have a general comment about using videos as an alternative to class presentations, let me know.  Do you think a "blended" class would be useful (some videos online, some in class case studies or problems)?

I know the production quality is not great - I definitely need some practice talking to my computer!  There are new tools out there to make the presentation more engaging.  (Sadly, I didn't use these)

Here are the notes to the video presentations.  Let me know if you experience any problems accessing the videos.  You may need to download the Flash player if you are experience some problems.

1. US health care problems and individual medical expense plans (23 min)
2. HSAs and long term care (17 mins)
3. Group underwriting principles (13 mins)
4. Group indemnity (8 mins)
5. Managed care plans (20 mins)
6. Disability and group health provisions (17 min)
7. Health care recommendations and conclusion (9 mins)

Other notes: don't forget about the paper assignment which will be due on Tuesday the 24th.  Make sure you review your paper for any errors before turning it in.
